    Bennet Trim Tabs with Automatic Control

    Hi,<br /><br />I wonder if anyone uses the Bennett Automatic control system with their trim tabs. How does it work and is it better than making many manual adjustments. Does it really do what it says it will??<br /><br />Thanks

    Hi,<br /><br />I have a 22ft sunrunner I/O with a 5.7L V8 260hp. I am noticing a real problem with adjusting my trim tabs. Just the slightist tap on the control and the boat makes a big swing one way or another. It seems like my fingers have to be on those buttons almost constantly. Once I...
